How would your previous employer describe you?
The interviewer may have contacted your previous employer for a reference, so you should be honest about how you think your previous employer would describe you. If you have a letter of recommendation from your previous employer, now is an excellent time to offer a copy to your interviewer. Use keywords that your employer used to describe you in the letter. If you do not have a letter, you can use keywords your employer used in performance reviews.
"My previous employer has described me in performance reviews as a positive, energetic, and empathetic counselor who has incredible problem-solving and organizational skills. They described me as a counselor with a strong work ethic who treats all patients with kindness and compassion."
